Re: AppData

Got it.

To whom it may concern: it indeed was a policy thingy after all on an item i
didn't expect it to find. Allthough it wasn't defined at all (folder
redirection), the values were different for various users in a less logical
way. By defining it on the right GPO i solved it.

On our workstations who ar part of the Windows Active Directory domain,
the
systemvariable "AppData" keeps pointing towards an old server in stead of
a
new one. It seems that nothing works what i try. I stepped through all the
AD policy's but couldn't find any wrong pointers of the Shell Folders, if
it
was defined. It's only defined as a policy on the OU for our users as a
part
of the "User configuration", "Windows settings", "Folder redirection",
"Application Data". Here it points to the new location, but as i logon
with
a test account it still points to the old one.

Next to it i changed the registry from the account of the user, but after
a
logoff+logon it was turned to the old value. Next i'd put it in the KIX
logon script to change it. This one seems to work: as i create a new value
"Test" in the registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders\

And give this the UNC-path of our new server it works. But the AppData
entry
seems to remain unchanged... I'm getting a bit desperate here... What's
going (wr)on(g)?


PS
Apologies for multiposting, but i really need an answer...
